What customers say
This spacious, quiet campsite is praised for its beautiful location and proximity to the beach, with many highlighting the unique open-air hot showers. Facilities are generally clean and functional, though described by some as basic. Guests appreciate the ample space, relaxed atmosphere, and the convenience of a communal shelter with cooking facilities. While most found it excellent value, a few felt it was pricey for the amenities offered, noting the absence of bins and occasional noise from other campers. Manager replies indicate improvements to toilet facilities.
